Actor and Pastor Jimmy Odukoya has condemned the recent k!llings in Benue state, describing them as a “genocide” rather than mere casualties of war
In an Instagram post, he expressed outrage and sorrow over the loss of over 200 lives in the Yelewata massacre.
Odukoya called on the government to live up to its duty and protect Nigerians, emphasising the need for justice and accountability.
He prayed for peace and strength for the affected communities, particularly the Yelewata community, and for the souls of the departed to be received by God.
“How long will we stay silent?! When homes are turned into crematoriums and fields become mass burial grounds! Body parts and bones litter the ground and tell a harrowing story of wickedness.
“Evil that does not discriminate against the old man or the infant child. Men, women, and babies all pay this price at the ultimate cost!
“These k!llings are not casualties of war but as a result of pure and senseless evil perpetrated by callous beasts whose hearts have become stone. Men who do not regard the sanctity of human life.
“I call on the government to live up to its duty and protect Nigerians. I pray for the Yelewta community and all those who have been affected by this harrowing loss. Those whose minds and hearts are forever scarred. I pray for peace, I pray for strength. May God receive the souls of the dearly departed.”
